Hey guthrie, that'd be ideal if you can. 

 

I can always open a ticket on my end for you if you end up having issues. Also, just to make sure we're on the same page: are you sure they've invited you to be part of the shared folder, and not of a shared link?

    Yes, if you can open a ticket that would be good - thanks. PLMK

     

    I think the folders are shared, not a link - how to verify that?

    They all showed up as a unit in my browser as a shared folder, I never got a link.
